Hey man, I'm not kissing up. I've got no reason to get close to him, I'm just a lowly gamer with the intention of becoming a network admin. Not meet John Carmack and get him to hook me up with a job, or something. I'm just letting him know that he does more than just make some cool characters on a screen, for some people.
Intended for John Carmack:
Hi, this is my first post to Slasdot.org.
I just want you to know you've played a key part in my youth. I've played every first-person shooter to hit the PC market since Wolf3d shareware...... I actually PAYED for all the ID games...heehee
They're all I play now, and it's all your fault! haha, that's a good thing.:) I read about a year ago, about your past, and just how you got started, and the things that you pioneered, and it's just simply astonishing. It's like, you don't think about half that stuff, and you take it for granted, because some of it has become so mainstream in the gaming industry, but when I read who did it all, I gained even MORE respect for everything you've done for games, and 3D design, altogether. You truly are a genius, and I just want to say I appreciate, personally, everything you've done.
But, anyway, I just want to mention something my friend mentioned to me. He was saying that maybe if your new game is in fact going to be another in the "Doom" line, perhaps name it simply "Doom".
Everyone knows what Doom is, and he thinks since it will be such a major change, it wouldn't need the # at the end. And, at the same time, it's such a major enhancement, it would be sorta like a "re-birth" of Doom, after so many years, so the title "Doom" would be kinda fitting.
